v1.c9.s2.9
The indispensable buttresses of the temple with the curvilinear Sikhara belong to its total form; they have their origin neither in the stone slabs of the dolmen nor in the Tabernacle of bended branches. Brick laying, as in the Vedic altar, might have facilitated their employment and pillared halls with their regular intercolumniations might also have preceded them. Such as they are they convey directly the meaning of the Prāsāda and are part of its monumental form.
